• A Stent is an artificial 'tube' inserted into a natural passage/conduit in the body to prevent, or counteract, a disease-induced, localized flow constriction.
• The term may also refer to a tube used to temporarily hold such a natural conduit open to allow access for surgery.
• The most widely known stent use is in the coronary arteries with a bare-metal stent, a drug-eluting stent or occasionally a covered stent.
• Coronary stents are placed during a percutaneous coronary intervention procedure, also known as an angioplasty.
• Ureteral stents are used to ensure the patency of a ureter, which may be compromised, for example, by a kidney stone.
• This method is sometimes used as a temporary measure, to prevent damage to a blocked kidney, until a procedure to remove the stone can be performed.
• A urethral or Prostatic stent might be needed if a man is unable to urinate.
• Often this situation occurs when an enlarged prostate pushes against the urethra, blocking the flow of urine.
• With the help of a few shrewd acquisitions, Opto today generates 95 percent of its Rs. 800-plus crore revenue outside India.
• And in a year when most of his peers struggled to maintain their revenue and profits, grew both at roughly 75 percent and 60 percent respectively.
• Opto currently makes slightly over 20 percent of its money selling stents and balloons in Europe and Asia.
• Angioplasty can improve some of the symptoms of CAD, such as angina (chest pain) and shortness of breath.
• It also can reduce damage to the heart muscle from a heart attack and reduce the risk of death in some patients.
• Angioplasty is a common medical procedure and is generally safe, but there is a small risk of serious complications.
• The use of medicine-coated stents can lower the chance of this happening, but these stents aren't without risk.
• In some cases, blood clots can form in the medicine-coated stents.
